Where do they live?? They live in the Amazon River basin of South America...

CHARACTERISTICS: Electric eels are long and slender like a snake, but they have fins to help them swim. They are black-brown to olive in color.

Anatomy Anatomy: The electric eel grows to be almost 2.5 m long. Most of the internal organs are in the front 1/5 of this fish; the rest of the body contains the electricity-producing organs (modified muscles). The scales covering the body are tiny. The eyes are tiny, and as this fish ages, its vision diminishes

What they eat? Diet: The electric eel eats other fish. It gets its prey by shocking it with electricity. The young eat bottom-living invertebrates.

Their body

Size SIZE: Electric eels can grow to be 6-9 feet in length.

About them Electric eels are not true eels, they are only eel-like in shape. Electrophorus electricus is famous for its ability to produce strong electrical currents, reaching volts. This strong discharge is used to stun or kill prey. This electrical discharge is also used to ward off potential predators.
